I’ve been using Dreamweaver “Find and Replace” to all the files. I’ll have to think about using PHP. I’m such a newbie at it its not funny

ah, I am little hurt to hear you are moving away from Coldfusion.

Although, I will admit that I do a little PHP myself from time to time.

Right, I assumed that was obvious, hence, my example of 2005-2007. Obviously, you’d only want to replace the 2007 with the code for the current year.

By having a copyright date of 1996 on the page, for content written in 1996, you are showing you have had copyright on that information since that time.

If you amend that date to 2008, you are no longer showing prior ownership of that information. I would only add the new date to new or amended content.

1. Most people use PHP, so that seemed to be the best thing to share.

2. I’m getting away from CF and moving to PHP.

Wait I thought you were a Coldfusion gal. What is up with the PHP?
